Nadz and I rented Mobikes and toured around Chiang Mai’s best spots this year for Songkran, and I spent enough time editing the damned footage that I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least post it on my blog.
How it’s felt detoxing from coffee, ADHD medication, sugar, bread, dairy, corn, and rice.
Table of contents: Background Info | About the Experiment | Daily Logs | Experiment Conclusion & Takeaways TL;DR 7/19/17 – I am SO glad I decided to go on this experiment! It’s been a few weeks since I started it and I’ve had some incredible results. Namely: being able to focus consistently without my meds, […]
How to get out of your own way and actually do the things you care about
For the past few years, it’s been a big priority for me to be creating stuff — app, games, that sort of thing. And as each year has passed with me falling short of my goals in that area, it has become increasingly difficult to still feel like it’s going to happen, and not get […]
The way you THINK someone feels about you is actually just a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
The “Too Long, Didn’t Read” Short Version You can never know what somebody else thinks or feels about you. When you draw a conclusion about how they think/feel, you’re partly doing it with your rational brain, but you’re also doing it with your emotional expectation of what you feel you deserve.

The relationship between my social anxiety and low self worth (and what I’m doing about it)
Group situations with no shared interest pretext — e.g. a bar or club vs. a rock climbing meetup — have always been scary for me. In this video I share a relationship I’ve observed between that fear and low self worth. I also mention what I’m doing to conquer this fear.

Where My Head/Life is At Right Now Today marks one year from the day I first landed in France on a one-way ticket to embark on the journey of a lifetime. And isn’t it fitting that the very things I was working on then — self love, codependency, and never feeling “good enough,” to name […]
Living in Harmony vs. in Tension, Guilt, and Struggle
I’ve had an interesting past week. Interesting in that it’s been in many ways unpleasant — a sort of throwback to days of yore when I was always stressed about money and always feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. Today upon resurfacing from my rut, I happened upon some valuable perspective noticed just how liberating it […]
Travel mishaps & releasing the need for control
I’ve had some travel shenanigans ensue over the course of these past couple days, and there would appear to be more to come. How would you feel if you had two flights canceled in as many days? Angry? Indignant? It was a bit liberating to be able to simply accept my reality and move forward […]
Ubud, Bali for digital nomads: better than Chiang Mai?
I’m just coming out of a week-long yoga retreat here in Bali, and had my first work day today. If you’d asked me a few days ago whether I thought Bali was as good as Chiang Mai for digital nomads, I would have said no. However, now that I’m staying in Ubud rather than in […]
